Do mac fags not understand they are getting garbage spray painted gold?
>>52393042
Joey we've been over this before, no they don't but they'd still like it even if they knew.
>>52393042
i'll bite
there's more to a computer than just a CPU and GPU, and funnily enough, they cost money. For example, the trackpads are god-tier compared with 95% of the garbage trackpads that exist.
A 2560x1600 high dpi IPS screen is not cheap either.
It slowly adds up when you remember all the other bits.

Apple's margins are the highest in the industry. That's why they're so successful as a business. They have an incredibly small market share, but every machine they sell is more money in their pocket than ASUS gets from selling 10 of theirs. Margin over volume is their modus operandi. It's not exactly a secret.
>A 2560x1600 high dpi IPS screen is not cheap either.
It's way cheaper than you'd think. Wholesale pricing on the displays is probably less than $50. Displays get cheaper year after year. $200 Chromebooks are now shipping with 1920x1080 IPS displays.
Should I get this for school? I have an 800 dollar budget, and want to do a little gaming.

Cool tip: get a discount on funeral arrangements by planning ahead!
do like >>52393028 , get a x220 and build a small desktop
I have drank the kool-aid.
I'm buying a Thinkpad for use with Linux and Tails. What do you guys suggest I buy? The X1 Carbon? I already have a Chromebook Pixel, but I'm starting to value my privacy tremendously, and don't want my bitcoin wallets being compromised.

I can afford to spend $2,000+ on my laptops that I want.
Rock on.
Why is it that computer science PhDs use Macs?
Don't they know they get much more bang for the buck with a self-built rig, overclocked CPU, a powerful GPU that smokes every Mac in a nice windowed HAF case?
>>52391804
I work in higher ed. / research doing IT desktop support ask me anything.
To answer your question OP they are incompetent and they think macs are better but will also talk a big Linux game.

good thread
thanks
D is literally perfect
Go is good.
Why is it that in every OSX thread the only negative comments come from people who have never actually used it, spouting off memes, and the odd wintard that used it one time and was buttflustered when the close window button didn't close the program completely.
No one has any actual arguments against the greatness of OSX other than uninformed memes.

you just proved my point
Installing GCC/Clang requires 6+GBs of Xcode.
Fuck that.
Any decent alternatives to VIM?
What do you guys use?
vim
acme
notepad.exe
ITT: Tech shit you bought that you regret
Pic related, both g sync and freesync are shit memes
Expensive as shit, looks like shit

Kek. IPS is better.
Intended for users of all levels, including absolute beginners.
There are three ways to try Linux, you can:
1) Install a Linux OS on a VM (Virtual Machine/VirtualBox) for "safety purposes"
2) Use the Live ISO directly without installing anything, that way, you can get a "full Linux experience".
3) Dual-boot Linux with Windows/Mac (recommend if you want to learn more about Linux)
4) Go balls deep and overwrite everything with Linux (not recommended)
If you are serious about switching to Linux and if you have Windows dual-booted, we recommend you use it exclusively for 2 weeks, and avoid Windows dual booting for that period of time, or it's likely you will start retreating back to windows instead of getting used to Linux as your new home and working onnmaking it feel the way you want it.
Before asking, please find the answers to your questions in resources.
Please be civil, notice the "Friendly" in every Friendly Linux Thread.
Understand that much of your software from Windows will be unavailable, although maybe wine can make up for it.

I'd like to just interject for a moment. Linux is a kernel you fucking stupid shit. Don't tell newsfeed it's meme Linux when you know full well it's a gnu/Linux or gnu plus Linux operating system.
Finally. We're already at page 8.

Hey man!
Is 1.2.11 the latest version available? Play Store is bugged. Long story.
How is C# on Linux?
I fucking hate Windows, but C# is the only thing keeping me from ditching it and going to fucking Linux. I tried Mono 2 years ago and it was garbage.
Have they made any good progress in the past 2 years?

I have all the root login of all the server and computers from my last job. They let me go because they are retarded and wouldn't take any of my suggestions to improve the computing structure of the company. They wouldn't have change the passwords because they are retard.
I can really screw them over if I wanted to but I don't know how yet.

I'm technologically illiterate and I'm in the process of getting a new laptop. I plan on mainly using it for games and audio/video recording within my budget of 1400. What should I look out for, are MSIs a good model, and is Windows 10 not worth updating?
Firefox just told me "Accessibility not available during multi-process support."
What the fuck does this mean?
